Question RPM Shifting

I am getting my tune adjusted to have my little 5.3 start shifting higher. Just wondering what every one is spinning these things up? I am around 5700 or so as of now.

Here is a link to my set up.

I'm shifting 5800 on a stock (other than replaced the 799's with 243's) L33. I don't want to push my luck on 105,xxx miles since it's my DD.

I had a bad valve guide. Head swap was cheaper than stealership repair. Now I have Z06 valve springs if I choose to do a mild cam one of these days.
